Not time to get on the ledge yet. Maybe by the end of the weekend but not yet.

Every team has their struggles in the season. The Cards have been very fortunate to this date, they haven't had a real slump yet. You hate to see it in September, during a Division race but nobody plans these. The baseball gods tell you when they come... Win the next two in Cincy and all will be right in the world...

While Lackey hasn't been great on the road, look for him to have a strong outing tonight. He knows someone has to step up and pitch 7+ strong innings. He has that killer instinct that will kick in and take control. They face some dude named Michael Lorenzen, with a 4-8 record and a 5.54 ERA. Card win tonight. Take it to the bank.

You think we're frustrated? How about the Pirates fans... After seeing the Cardinals take a loss, they lose their 7th in a row to Milwaukee, in 13 innings.
